@Riot @EveryoneElse: Let's talk about Elise

Yes. I am bringing "this" up again. A topic that Riot seems to be very quiet on. I am sure we all know that Elise is, well, rather sub-par at the moment. I mean she is kind of ok, but lets be honest, she is not really ok right now. If at least we could get an explanation of what the situation is with her, like is she due for a buff or are you going to keep her the same?

I personally feel that yes, nerfs were needed to help her not be so op, but the nerfs were a bit too carried away. In my personal opinion, she doesn't do enough damage, and she isn't quite as tanky as she could be. I'm not saying buff both of those, maybe just her damage.

I think I speak for the whole elise fanbase when I say, we would love it if you showed us some love and responded to this. It has been too long now and we need answers. I hope you have at least considered or recognized the cry for buffs.

If anyone else has any ideas of what buffs she needs, if any, just leave a comment! Or if you have anything to say about Elise in particular, feel free!

TL;DR: Elise needs some love, and we want Riot to answer us!

EDIT: I am not saying she needs a ton, but maybe just a tune up on her abilities, or her tankyness.

I think they should add a slow or push( like trundle's pillar interrupts and push units aside) when Elise lands on enemies with her rappel. Shes a big ass spider falling on to someone, it should do something lol.

Buffing her damage isn't a way to go in my opinion, since its hard to balance hp% damage. They should focus on her base stats or utility.

The first real buff I would do is allow her to rappel to allies. It would actually be a pretty significant buff.

I don't even play Elise and I agree she needs some kind of buff. She should at least be on par with Udyr and Nidalee. I think if they Cocoon easier to land, that alone would help tons and not be OP. Other junglers can stun whole teams, this just does one person.

It might be worth trying a tankier, MPen based build with Elise, since her base damages are pretty good, but her scaling is sub-par. Idk though; haunting guise --> sunfire --> abyssal sounds like a good build to me, but maybe she's meant more as an executioner?

Elise has always looked interesting to me but i've had the hardest time figuring out how to use her kit optimally

elise need more hp lvl, it sound extraordinarly stupd elise has only 1800hp at lvl 18 for a melee champ...

Spiderlings are too squishy right now. They shouldn't be getting 2-shot by buffs considering they're a fair portion of Elise's damage, and tankiness in the jungle.
It couldn't hurt to look at Elise's base and scaling defensive stats. I feel like I'm getting poked down by champions that I shouldn't be.

I actually REALLY like Elise as a Top Lane AP Bruiser/Off-Tank right now and have decent success with it (albeit only in normals). So I think she needs buffs but only very small QoL ones.

play her full ap, i have found some pretty good success with this. she can shred tanks and 1 shot carries.

as an idea for a build

item 3158 item 3724 item 3001 item 3027 item 3285 item 3089 / item 3157 (but then you aren't purple build, so it's sad) // item 3512 (to keep my purple build dream in tact)

to add a little more, this makes it so you can easily fend off oppressive junglers / etc mid game. Elise is already very strong in the early game and this is where she excels. eventually in end game, with this build, you can 1 shot carries and melt tanks. the 40% CDR also lets you easily peel for your team with a ton of stuns and Q's
